The rotator cuff is a group of muscles and tendons that stabilize the shoulder joint and enable a wide range of motion. When injured or torn, effective treatment depends on the severity of the condition. Here’s an overview of rotator cuff treatment options.
1. Non-Surgical Treatments - Non-surgical approaches are usually recommended for mild to moderate injuries.Strengthening and stretching exercises improve shoulder mobility and stability.Over-the-counter pain relievers (like ibuprofen) and anti-inflammatory medications help reduce discomfort. Temporarily reduce inflammation and pain, especially when physical therapy doesn't provide enough relief.
2. Minimally Invasive Surgical Treatments - These options are considered when non-surgical measures are ineffective. A minimally invasive procedure where small instruments and a camera repair partial or minor tears in the rotator cuff.
3. Open Surgical Repairs - For severe injuries or complete tears: The tendons are reattached to the bone via sutures or surgical anchors during an open procedure.Used when the damaged tendon cannot be repaired; a nearby tendon is repositioned to compensate for shoulder movement.
4. Post-Treatment Care - Recovery involves rehabilitation and adherence to specific guidelines to regain strength and function.
